5* DT A'Shawn Robinson flips to Alabama
5 star DT A'Shawn Robinson, the prized recruit in Texas' class, has flipped to Alabama after being committed for over a year. This should probably end all speculation on Henry Poggi. On another note, Texas probably picked the worst time to turn into a dumpster fire. A&M leaves for the SEC and Manziel wins the Heisman, and now Texas is losing its grip on in-state recruiting.
At least Texas fans have the Longhorn Network. Hope it was worth it.
OB has confirmed that A'Shawn Robinson has informed the Texas coaches in an in-home visit that he will sign with Alabama on Wednesday.

Maybe they should try and recruit his younger brother B'Shawn, or perhaps his cousin D'Shawn.
February 2nd, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
made me LOL. Best laugh I've had all day!
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:28 PM ^
I think B'Shawn is a Boise State lean, and D'Shawn is also 5-star hoops recruit likely to sign with Duke. Now T'Shawn, on the other hand...
(Hopefully there is also an AA'Shawn).

I can't imagine they normally pull in less than half of that group

OU usually plucks a guy or two out of there.
February 2nd, 2013 at 6:05 PM ^
They lost to OU, K State, West Va, and TCU. We lost to bama, ND, Neb, OSU, and SCar. Do you not see a difference in quality there?
edit: this was supposed to be in response to the guy who said we're a dumpster fire solely because they had a better record than us. I guess Northwestern was better than us this year too?

That doesn't even make sense.
February 2nd, 2013 at 6:07 PM ^
But if they have another mediocre year, and especially one where they get manhandled by Oklahoma again, I don't think they can afford to wait around much longer to make a move. UT are undoubtedly impatient, and A&M is quickly staking its claim for in-state talent.

I read that Liner is taking a surprise! visit to Georgia, so.... who knows.
February 2nd, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
Why don't you claim something based on a recruiting analyst and then say that it was you who actually knew first and rage that they are plagiarizing you!
Hand planted on forehead with a big L sign...

Is Bama's run ever going to end? Seriously! Saban not bolting to the NFL after 3 championships in 4 years leads me to believe he will finish his career at Alabama. Kirby Smart could of probably had his pick of college head coaching jobs or NFL defensive coordinator jobs yet he stays at Alabama. It seems if he is being groomed to be Saban's replacement. The real question is how many more championships does Alabama win in the next 5 years? I will say 3.

again,what recruits will he get at texas or usc that he cant get at bama? money? yeah i think bama can match any offer texas or usc comes with. i do agree that if he leaves it will be for the nfl.

Why would Saban ever leave leave Bama for another school? He's built one of the greatest football dynasties ever and has his pick of the litter as far as recruits go. Besides, any school that could pay Saban what he'd want, Bama would match. It's not like that school would want to invest in much else.

The end is usually triggered by a coaching change or trouble with the NCAA.

Or top recruiting classes = winning 3 national championships in 4 years?
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:57 PM ^
dumpster fire by destroying its league, and sending its arch rival to the SEC where they will out-recruit tu every year.
deserved

Et tu, tu?

Seems like good news for Poggi. However, I won't stop panicking until he faxes in his LOI.
February 3rd, 2013 at 10:48 AM ^
I thought this kid was going to play OT at UT? Are we sure he’s going to play DE at Bama?
Also I thought Bama was recruiting Poggi to play H Back/ TE? Saban’s two gap 3-4 would be a horrible fit for him. He’s a one gap player.

A'Shawn? These names get weirder and weirder

I really really really fucking hate Alabama.
That is all.
